Applied Mindfulness: Approaches in Mental Health for Children and Adolescents is a tool for mental health clinicians who work with children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth. The book is premised on the truth that teaching mindfulness is not a skill that can be picked up by reading an instructional manual; clinicians must first practice mindfulness themselves. The strategies presented in the text must be felt, experienced, lived, and reflected on by the clinician, who will then be inspired and will be equipped to assist others. The editors have carefully selected both the contributors, who represent leading and emerging thinkers, and the topics, which have wide therapeutic applications. Divided into four parts, the book begins with an introduction to clinical mindfulness that addresses the current state of the field and provides an essential knowledge foundation for working with youth. The next part offers mindfulness strategies and protocols directed toward specific clinical scenarios, and in the following two parts, the authors consider how mindfulness can help specific patient populations who struggle with traumatic events. The final part offers examples of how to integrate mindfulness into a variety of settings, including home, work, school, and the natural world.
Mindfulness can help to counteract the high levels of stress experienced by young people today. Applied Mindfulness: Approaches in Mental Health for Children and Adolescents is that rare book that promises to change not just the patient but the clinician as well.
